with tremendous power and great
- suoccess and threatens to “blow” him
_ selt to such a commanding lead that
it will make Ty Cobb hustle to get
_within hafling distance within the
next few weeks.
The work of Lee Magee at second
&_m the Cincinnat! Reds s an
s revelation. Here was a player
_Who was a sensation in the Federal
~ League In 1916, but was a useless
_member of the American League in
. 1916 and 1917, When Christy Math
. ewson secured him from the Braves
the consensus of opinion was that
Matty had taken a “lemon™ unto him- |
“#elt. And when the Rhineland man
ager went. so far as to place Magee at
~ mecond base—a position at which the
youngster had falled so miserably
while with the Yankees—everyone
. predicted that Magee would fall as
- flat a 8 the morning pancake. \
- But, Instead, Magee has played a
- marvelous game at socond and hu-‘
* flelded in superb fashion. The pep
~ and ginger, so characteristic of him
. during his Federal League days,
.seems to have roturned and he has
rounded out the Red infleld and m-.do‘
1t a really formidable combination.
Magea, In addition, is hitting the ball
on the nose and sending it “where
they ain't.”
Perhaps the hup?hst oftizen In
baseball just now ls John MecGraw,
not merely because the Giants have
played in almost miraculous fashion
- up to date, but because of the deal he
~ put through with the Boston Braves.
At the time the Glant chieftain trad
.ed Charlie Herzog for Pitcher Jess
. Barnes and Second Baseman Larry
acg]lo it was generaliy believed that
o raw got the worst of the bargain.
" But incldents up to the present time
~ have shown tbat McGraw certainly
~ got a bargain/
* Herzog's work for the Braves up to
~ the present time has been only so-so
~ —and the Braves must pay him §18,.-
~ 000 for his season’s hire. On the
_ other hand, Doyle, making the come
. back effort with the Giants, has fleld
' #d better than at any time during his
career and is batting at a terrific clip.
~ I¥ the Giants-Braves deal had In
volved only Herzog and Doyle it
would be apparent that the Gilants
got the best of it. But in addition to
m Doyle, the New Yorkers also
Barnes, whose pitching so far
has been brilliant to an extreme, '
And then there {s the case of Rarl
Hamilton. So little was thought of
Mm by the American IL.eague that
when the Browns asked for walvers
. on Mm no one in that cirouit ex
mod a desire for his services. The
tes took a chance on him and
Hamilton’s pitohing has been thesen
-Mw 0;%. National Immh“ Sup
a team t was
was m‘{fa better than a tall
or.
The vartous deals which the Yan
kees put through certainly have bene
fited the club and have added to Its
offensive strength. Derrill Pratt has
made the infield a fast, peppery quar
tet. And “Ping” Bodie, secured from
. Comnie Mack, has found his batting
eye and together with Pratt has been
breaking up numerous ball games and
adding them to the Yamkees' list of
_ victories.
These are only a few of the side
fspues of the 1918 eampaign which
. promises to be a thriller in both cir
cuits from now on until the October
* flag falls.

kid at heart. We g iia o 0 o d@
had been having aF§ e, 9
little argument ;§ 5 tues. 3 -
about how long g
Norman Elberfeld & ¥ \g
had beenastormy B &“i o
petrel in proses- “fR Mg =i
sional baseball, § ?
and we had about | E e s &
settled that it was R
23 years, when in e
came the doughty [ EF@ &8 = £
Kid himself, and [ 8@ £9405:
we asked him. & ¥
You for g e|l
about those iwu
‘years in the Blue Grass League,” said
the Kid, “and the one year in the
Texas League—but I don’t forget
about them. Twenty-six years thi€
year—and I didn’t start it off with
any silver anniversary at the quarter
century post, either.”
Mr. Elberfeld blushed slightly and
plead, or pleaded, guilty to 44 birth
days. He added that‘ he was being
somewhat pestered by lumbago.
“But I get out there and pitch to
the boys in batting practice for twen
ty minutes, and that works it out.
And when I think they need an old
vet. out there, why, I find I can get
in the game and go along pretty well—
rretty well, at that.”
ok g
Norman Elberfeld is a marvel to
me. He has been a marvel to me for
quite a number of years. He gets
older in the bean, and on the same.
A fly would trip up on most of Mr. El
berfeld's bean, on the outside. And
inside it—l doubt if the man lives in
this world that packs more baseball
brains and wisdom than Norman Kl
berfeld.
But Mr. Elberfeld contains a heart
in which the springtime of baseball
blooms perennially, with all the
warmth and fervor that radiate from
a 12-year-old playing three-old-cat
on the vacant lot next door to the
First Methodist Church. Mr. Elber
feMl is a perennial marvel to me. The
oldest man in years and service now
connected actively with baseball, he
still is truly “Kid” Elberfeld. And a
bit of talk with the Kid is a grand
tonic for a flagging and aging base
ball taste.
P P B
The Little Rock team was stopping
at the Marion, and spread about pret
ty much over the third floor, where I
am spread pretty much about also.
And the other evening there came a
knock at the door and in came the
Kid. It took us only about four min
utes to dispose of his lumbago and
vears and my bad knee and disposi
tion, and then the Kid lit into pase
ball, and the lively young ball elub he
was chaperoning, and the things they
did and didn’t, and what might con
fidently and confidentially be expected
to happen, when his pitchers got go
ing as they should and when a cer
tain veteran slugger hit his regular
gait. .
You know--we all know. But the
pleasing thing to me is the absolute,
Loyish genuineness—the ingenuous
ness, if you like—of this 44-year-old
Kid, exactly as much devoted to his
team, and in just the same way, as
the manager of the Boy’s High School
team when it is on a romp over the
disjecta membra of its rivfls.
The Kid ran on about the games
they had chucked away which ought
to have been won, and the amazing
success of the squeeze play recently,
and the way the boys had bunted
several earnest young pitchers to
death—*“eighteén bunts in two games,”
chuckled the Kid—and what a fine
bunch of youngsters they were, and
how he did not believe in “riding”
them——
“They see their own mistakes, and
they beat me to it,” said the Kid.
And certainly the youngsters show
ed beneficial resuits of Mr. Elberfeld’s
educational proceedings while in At
lanta. And they are for him. They
are for him strong. The manager had
just taken a party of them to the
Liyric. He believes in breezing around
with the boys. Not “looking after”
them. They look after themselves.
But they are expected to show up in
shape to fight for the game to the last
ditch-<that's all.
Long may he wave—l'm in favor of
his celebrating a Golden Wedding
with baseball a quarter of a century
hence.
At which time he will still be “The
Kid.” :

‘Town Gets Tired of Player and
.
Player Gets Tired of Town,
Declares Bobby Gilks.
By Damon Runyon.
ARL HAMILTON, the “Little
E Nap Rucker,” was waiveq
plumb out of the American
League last winter because he couldn't
pitch enough lefthanded ball for the
St. Louis Browns to make any one
think he was worth his salt.
The Pittsburg Pirates took him on,
and in the National League Earl won
five games in a row, stopping the mad
career of the Chicago Cubs, among
others. In all his games he pitched
real baseball, too.
Lee Magee simply eould not get
started in the American League, after
starring in the National and Federal
Leagues, and he had trials with two
different clubs in Johnson’s circult at
that. Now he is back in the National
League and doing well for ol' Chris
Mathewson.
John Henry was shooed out of the
American, but seems td be able to
hold down a job with the Boston
Braves in the National League.
Whereat, American League boosters
rise on their hind legs and chirp:
“Well, it's the tip-off on the old
league!”
But is it?
Dick Hoblitzel has been a star in
the American League for some years,
since he was chased from Cincinnati.
Dave Shean is a Red Sox regular,
though he was supplanted in Cincy
by that same Magee, who couldn’t get
by in the American.
It's a queer world!
Often a change of air helps a ball
player. This has been proved time
and again. Bobby Gilks, the old
Yankee scout, contends that no ball
player should remain longer than five
years in any one town.
“A town gets tired of the player,
and the player gets tired of a town,”
argues Bob. “A shifting around ever
so often would be a good thing. The
fans want to see new faces. There are
a few players who never seem to
wither or grow stale in the fancy of
the fans of the town in which they
begin their big league careers, but
these cases are rare.
- “New York never tired of Mathew
son. He remained a favorite to the
end of his baseball playing days in
the big town. So did Mike Donlin and
a few others. Honus Wagner was al
ways strong in the affections of the
Pittsburg fans.
“As a rule, however, about five years
wears a player’'s welcome out, and
at the end of five years in the same
town the player is generally willing
to make a change. Often a man is
waived out of the big leagues becauss
his usefulness seems to be ended,
when as a matter of fact he has
merely grown track sore in one par
ticular town.
“If another club would take a
chance on him, he might have another
baseball . life. It's the change of en
vironment that does the business.”
